The future of Rock Island never looked brighttr
than it does to-day, and there never was a time
when there was more confidence manifested among
our citizens. The socaed Blooms" of some
Western towns have had their day, and caught
their victims, and the sober second sense is
turning and with it the desire to locate in cities
which have not been built in day ahd swept away

The Temptation FOO strong.

New YORK, February S.-The union
boatmen, who struck because they
would not handle "scab" coal, al
though they were satisfied with the
price paid them, % cents a ton, are
weakening. They hesitate to openly
abandon the cause of the strikers, but
the 70 csnts a ton now ffered is so
tempting that those who own bosts
compromise by making out bills OF
sale of the boats TO friend. That
friend goes to the companies and
offers to transport the coal at the rul-
ing rates. Their offers have mostly
been refused, the companies prefer
inc, as long as they have got TO pay
exhorbitant rates, to pay them 10 out
siders. gsboremens' Union No. l

800 men were present. They were de-

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY !
CHANGES THE APPEARANCE OF
THINGS In THE hARBOR
or New YOIk-Many Of the Old Men
Return to WOrk-The Strike
About Ended.

New YORK, February S.-There YVES
considerable activity on the PIERS Of
the river front this mor1ing, and
freight was being moved with much
mora dispatch than any other day
since the strike. The time that has
elapsed since the longshoremen and
freight handlers Q lit work has enabled
the railroad and steamship companies
to select, and in some ses train, suf-
ficient men to keep the freight moving
alcng. Besides, many OF the old
freight handlers and longshoremen
are coming back TO work, not at the
places where they are known, but
where they are least likely to be
known. The Maine Steamship Com
pany has got most of its old hands
back. On the Clyde Line pier 20,
East river, there were 200 men wait
ing for the steamer City of Atlanta to
reach the dock. Superintendent
Healey said he had all the men he re-
quired. The Mallory Line dock had
resumed its former appearance. Chas.
Mallory said they were not experience
ing any difficulty. The manager at
pier ENus ~, baiu ihdt ho OShF IuoACN
the strike ended, 30 far as it effected
their pier. They could get more
help than was needed. Along
the North river front there
is a decided improvement in the
business of the railroad and steamship
companies, and freight is more easily
handled today. The streets leading to
the piers ara no longer choked up
with trucks. A number of muscular
countrymen have been put to work
who are learning rapidly. The
Italians are gradually being discharged
as better help lie hired. At Pennsyl-
vania pier No. 20, fifty OF the old men
went back today. The conference
called for today at Austin Corbin's
office was well attended. j. r Max
we'll, representing MIR. Corbin, has
gone to Philadelphia, and T. j. Put.
nam represented the Knights OF Labor.
All information was refused as to the
result. The conference adjourned
until tomorrow noon. 1t was init
mated that interrupted telegraphic
communication between this city and
Philadelphia was the cauge of adj
tournament.

CLEVELAND, O., February S.-De.
tsctive Hulligsn, one OF the poles off.
GERS assaulted by despsradoes at Ra.
VIENNA. died a. $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing. His condition changed so rapidly
for the worse since yesterday that all
hopes entertained for his recovery
were abandoned this morning. The
attending physician, DR.. d. B. Smith,
spent the greater par OF the night at
the house, and saw that the inflam.
nation of the lining membranes OF
the brain were extending very rapidly,
although the wounded man seemed to
sleep and rest well. At z o'clock the
Doctor called at the house and found
his patient so low that he considered
his condition alarming, although net
hopeless. DR.. Smith went home to
breakfast and returned to the detect
ives house an hour later. In the
short space OF time he lad been ab-
sent Huiigan had grown so much
worse that he gave up all hope, aud in
an hour he was dead. He leaves a
wife and four children.
Detective Hulligsn was 40 years old
and was the Oldest detective in Cleve-
land in point Of service. He was a
handsome man and no one ever ques-
toned his bravery. The people OF
Cleveland are plunged into grief over
his death and every daily paper in the
city is receiving money for the relief
of his family. The p9st norton ex-
animation revealed ten terrible
wounds IL his head. The skull in one
place was fractured from the left tenn
pie to the base OF the brain. The
coupling pin that the cutthroais used
upon him weighs seven pounds and is
covered with a newspaper tightly
wound with Irvine. Capt. Hoehne,
the other wounded officer, ia improv-
ing rapidly, although shot twice and
struck with the coupling pin several
times.

A CELEBRATED CASE,
which Has Been Pending Three
Years, Decided Yesterday.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, February 8.-United
states District Judge Trestt has rem
dered a decision in one of the most
celebrated manufacturing cases which

A West Virginia Romance.

On the Goth of October of last
wear. Mr. Stewart Westenhaver and
Miss Maggie Burkhart, second
daughter of Mr.. Robert &. Burkhart,
residing near Martinsburg, accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. Burkhart and
other members of the family to the
Hagerstown fair and while the others
went out to the fair grounds the
young couple made some excuse for
remaining in town and straightway
went and got married. The matter
was kept a profound secret until last
Saturday, when Mr.. Westenhaver,
to the surprise of the parents, came
to claim his bride and take her to
his home. There was no occasion
for any clandestine proceedings in
this matter, because Mr.. Burkhart
had no objection to the young man,
but when consulted on the subject,
about year ago, merely advised as
they were both quite young, that the
marriage should be postponed for a
time, but the young people would
not take that view of the case. Mr..
and Mrs. Bnrkhart naturally feel a
little sore over the occurrence, but
take a practical view of the matter
and accord the young couple their
best wishes and parental blessings.

Wednesday last was day that
will long be remembered by our peo-
pie. The intense hot weather pre-
ceding that day seemed to fOretell
an approaching storm. TIE day
broke as usual bright and warm,
but by 10 o'clock ominous clouds
covered the western horizon. BY II
o'clock the fiercest storm remember
ed in this vicinity broke on US with
all the fury of a western tornado.
The old adage, "that it never rains
but it pours," seemed fully verified.
In a few moments the streets were
turned into canals, and our town
truly presented the appearance OF a
modern Venice. The water in many
places extended from house to house
across the entire width ofthe streets,
making them impossible. The
neighborhood of Hulps pump and
the LANYARD were turned into a lake.
Floating logs, boards, crossings,
etc, were seen in every direction.
Nor was the storm confined to
Charlestown alone. Col. II. b. Dav-
EXPORT lost fifteen trees in his orch
ard and yard, some Of them being
twisted off at the base. Much dam
AGE was done to the corn, oats and
wheat fields, and many panels OF
fencing were either blown down or
washed away. Mr.. Thos. Frazier
lost a great quantity Of wheat, which
was along n branch of Evitt's run.
Shugert Bros. sustain Il loss of sew

of wheat in the fields of Messrs. +.

Miller, near this place, setting them

havoc with the telephones, several
instruments being burnt out and the
switch board badly damaged. No
accurate estimate can be made o.
the damage done. as every moment
